The story "ANDROID AS A BABYSITTER" discusses the rapid technological changes over the past 15 to 20 years and their impact on children's development. It contrasts past practices, where parents would engage their children with tap recorders playing stories and songs, with the current trend of using television and mobile devices as babysitters. The author argues that television content, aimed at increasing ratings, often negatively affects children's mental health by exposing them to violence and instability, leading children to mimic harmful behaviors. The narrative suggests that parents, seeking convenience and comfort, unintentionally contribute to their children's psychological issues by relying on electronic devices. Children are depicted as becoming more comfortable in an artificial world created by technology, losing touch with reality and genuine human interactions. The story warns that the introduction of devices like "ANDROID" only exacerbates these issues, making children increasingly reliant on their phones as their primary source of comfort, rather than their parents or friends. Overall, it highlights the dangers of technology as a substitute for parental care and its detrimental effects on children's mental well-being.
